Rum Balls Instructions

  1. Crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the cocoa powder and rum to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the cookie crumbs to the mixture, mixing until a smooth, firm dough forms.
  5. Form the dough into small balls, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter.
  6. Roll each ball in the shredded coconut until fully coated.
  7. Place the coated rum balls on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  8. Store the rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  9. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • If the mixture feels too soft to roll, chill it for 15–20 minutes before shaping.
  • If the dough is too dry/crumbly, add a tiny splash more rum (or plant milk) until it holds together.
  • Crush the cookies very finely for the smoothest texture and easiest shaping.
